Chapter 40: The Evil Sword
※ When he was dancing the sword in the air, the inexplicable and huge hyper energy continued to spread, so strong that it even formed pale red fluctuations visible to the naked eye. But this is only the surface, under the deep layers that cannot be detected by the naked eye, not only did he not consume his own magic power, but also received the energy infusion from the outside world.
Because of the heavenly gift, Chongyang's cultivation speed of magic power far exceeds that of ordinary people, but it takes a process of accumulation to cultivate more or less in ordinary times. However, the idea of holding the Famous Sword provided both accumulation and energy, allowing him to skyrocket in his cultivation in just ten minutes, and suddenly reached a level that was enough to condense the second mystery!
What is this concept? A full count of two. With the addition of the time of the world, it has only been more than a month since he has been promoted to the realm of the mysteries, and he is facing another promotion before he has even mastered a level of magic! This is not just something that can be described by the world.
Such a strange and huge harvest is far beyond Chongyang's imagination. Weird, strange, incredible? In short, put all your worries on the back of your mind, and if you don't try your best to fight for the benefits in front of you, you may be cautious, but you will also miss opportunities.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are always prepared, resolute and brave, and Chongyang is down-to-earth and not pedantic. Or to put it another way, he behaves quite calmly most of the time, but there is always a bit of madness hidden in his bones, which is clear to those who know him well.
In the present situation, his determination is called a fearless and adventurous spirit with a revolutionary demeanor, but it is not good to hear that he does not shed tears when he sees the coffin, "Oh no, he is a fanatical opportunist who will not cry when he sees the coffin."
This is Chongyang. An extremely sullen fire mage is destined to set off a storm in this sword world that has an inexplicable connection with him.
Chongyang returned to his office, and Chloe returned to listen to the leader's answer to the future of the rebellion.
"I think it's better not to go to Sword Saint Mountain for the time being, but to go to Les City to explore the situation first. Chongyang stood in front of the map of the kingdom and pointed to the capital of the border region that was not too far from the town of Morromok on the map.
"According to you, the imprisoned Lord of Les City is undoubtedly the leading figure in the anti-war forces in Tianlan's country, and he is now in a very bad situation, and he may be ordered to be executed at any time as a negative example to the other lords. ”
This speculation is reasonable, and the rumors circulating within the Red Wolves are a dangerous sign that there are already people who are spreading public opinion, intentionally or unintentionally.
The Red Wolf Army, which was scattered throughout the country, encountered fierce resistance on the way to the collection, so Lord Les would definitely not be able to save his head. And if he is really put to death. It was a very important blow to the anti-war people, and the flame of rebellion would be extinguished before it could be burned. ”
"To prevent this from happening, I'm going to go to the city of Les and see what can be done. If you're lucky. Maybe you don't have to go through the Sword Saint Mountain to get the fame you need to rebel."
Chloe listened quietly, and when she heard this, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
"You want to rob the prison?"
Hit the nail on the head.
"I said that I should first find out the situation, and of course I do not rule out the possibility of developing to this point. Chongyang said calmly.
"I'll go with you. Chloe thought for a moment and didn't say a word of nonsense.
"You're hurt. And the town needs you, and I'll do it alone
"You can't do it alone, as you have proven in today's battle, although you are strong, sometimes you are unexpectedly vulnerable. Chloe had a firm look in her eyes.
The first time was in the woods near her house, and the second time was this laneway war, the condition of the black-haired young man was obviously not stable, even if he himself was confident, but the facts were the facts.
Chongyang was speechless. It's hard to refute, and it's true, as Chloe says, he's here. There are so many possibilities for accidents in the world.
"But what about the town, the old mayor is unfortunately dead. The townsfolk need it at such times
"Jacon is going to do a good job, he's already more familiar with it than I am. There was only one final question: the spoils of war could be distributed, but what about the captives? It was impossible to release them in order to prevent the news from getting out. And they can't be kept in prison forever. ”
Chloe's eyes flickered.
Chongyang was silent for a while. Morromok can't be exposed to the Red Wolves, at least not yet, so what to do with those captives is a headache.
Or kill them all?
No, not to mention that such people are inhumane, and even if the townspeople can carry it out, they will leave a very bad impression. After all, killing an enemy on the battlefield is not the same thing as slaughtering a prisoner.
"Just lock it up for now. I'll figure it out later. Chongyang can only use procrastination.
The townsfolk rebelled against tyranny and were rewarded with a lot of loot, and the celebration continued until the next day.
Early in the morning, people gathered in the square to listen to the leaders of the uprising for the future.
Chloe first explained to everyone the situation facing the town and even the country, and Xiao Zhang opposed the war. It is bound to stop the kingdom riot "I and the Ghost Brake Sword Sect will immediately go to Les City to try to save Custer from a desperate situation. Lord Earl Young. Then everyone has to stay vigilant and be prepared. Fight to protect your loved ones and your homeland".
The speech was not long, concise, clear and powerful. Received an enthusiastic response for a long time. Although the people are easy to follow the crowd, they are not stupid and can discern which are the real words of the heart. Which are empty and empty clichés.
Until the end of his speech, Chongyang stood aside silently, with an unfathomable posture. It's not that he's trying to force it, it's that he can't think of anything he can say in front of the townspeople.
If you change to a real grassroots hero, most of them will give a stirring speech at this time. He expressed his affection for the people, his deep hatred of the tyranny of the kingdom, and his presiding over benevolence and righteousness. He promised some promises of bright prospects, blank promises, and so on, but he was not a natural leader of that talent.
This lowered his score as a rebel leader. But he has taken a step forward in terms of the image of a master, especially after he danced his sword in the air yesterday.
Silence is better than sound, this is a world that worships the strong, and silence and mystery are sometimes the best coats of the strong, all the young people in the town. Looking at him, his eyes obviously showed the color of incomparable longing and admiration.
In front of the people, Chloe solemnly entrusts Jacon with the responsibility of running the town, and the sheriff leader is under pressure, but also full of pride in being recognized by the eldest sister.
With the whole town seeing them off, Chongyang and Chloe rode the best horses in town and headed for the city of Leth.
Les City, the capital of the Earl Lord, is the premier large city in the Southern Frontier Region, and is prosperous enough to rank in the top ten of the entire Arashi Kingdom today.
Rich and diverse ethnic style buildings, flower-carved beams and columns, relief murals, and exquisite window sills can be seen everywhere. The chic houses, based on the carefully set urban planning, form a beautiful city full of art.
However, the impact of the war and the disturbance of turmoil have made this large and noisy city in the past much less lively, and replaced it with silence and slaughter. A tall tower full of vivid colors in the past. All seemed to be clouded by the dark gray color of silence.
It is often said that look at the appearance and style of a city. It can be inferred that the character of the lord who ruled the place. Custer. Earl Young, after inheriting the ancestral domain, spent thirty years implementing his philosophy. Transform the chaotic and filthy place that was once full of criminals, liars, robbers, and prostitutes into what it is today.
Only the Earl himself knows best how much effort has been put into it, and if this peaceful development can continue, the long-term peace and stability of the city of Les and the prosperity and revitalization of the family are not too distant dreams. However, the birth of a holy sword, the ambition of a king, almost ruined all this.
It was a critical period for the hard-working management of the territory, and it was impossible for the Earl of Custer to agree to drain the blood of the city of Les to support the bottomless pit of the war, otherwise there would be a lack of labor and funds. Projects that have been painstakingly built up can be postponed indefinitely or completely collapsed.
He knew very well that his years of hard work had only put the hooligans in new clothes, and the barbaric and disorderly city had not changed much at all, and the various struggles of the major forces in the city had only changed from the original street fighting to secret deception and betrayal. The assassination was just a calculation, but it was an improvement after all.
The hooligans are not used to wearing new clothes, but as long as they persist, they will get used to it sooner or later, but if they sacrifice the interests of the territory for the sake of war, it will not be long before the hooligans will relapse and the city of Les will return to chaos.
The Earl of Custer was old, and he did not have a second thirty years, so he did not back down even in the face of the king's wrath and the threat of death, and was finally thrown into the dungeons of his castle.
War and turmoil have cast a grey shadow over the city, and the Red Wolf Legion is a disgusting patch of gray in the gray tones, and their arrival, or invasion, has made the entire city almost black and white. In the gloomy atmosphere, the sight of the bright red armored sergeants on strict guard in the streets and alleys was particularly dazzling.
The lord's imprisonment, brutal heavy taxes and brutal conscriptions make the city of Les like a raped maiden, sad, angry, and hopeless. In this case, not no one got up against the pepper,
The fierce shout of "enemy attack" resounded in the night sky, in the middle of Baisuhua Avenue in the eastern district of Les City. There was a burst of cold swordsmen colliding and angry shouts. The smack of a sharp sword piercing into a human body, the sound of blood splattering to the ground.
"It's a trap!"
"We've fallen into a trap
"Io, run!"
A figure dressed in a tight black robe with his head shrouded in a hood fled the scene under the desperate cover of his companions, turning from the avenue into the alley, and running wildly.
The operation failed, and the Red Wolf Army actually set a trap for him and his companions! In the fierce battle, his companions spontaneously left a glimmer of life for him, who was the least qualified. At the cost of his life, he escaped under the cover of his life.
The young Io's eyes were full of tears, and he was only six years old, and he wanted to cry at this time, leaving his partner behind. The red wolf roars... Draw the sword. The splatters of blood and the terrible screams hit his heart deeply.
There was no turning back, and the only thing he could do now was to escape and tell him about the failure of the operation.
"Where! Don't let him run!"
There was a roar from the front of the alleyway. Luminous stones were thrown, smashing around Io, emitting a clear glow that illuminated everything.
The enemy approached quickly, and at the moment when Io was in danger of life and death, he burst into a extreme reaction, jumped to the side, jumped onto the wall and bounced again, and the ape climbed to the gap in the stone bricks three or four meters above the ground, and quickly climbed up.
Dao Sword Qi narrowly slashed under his heels, but he managed to climb up the stone bricks to the roof of the building before the enemy could get closer.
Compared to the ground, it is a different world, with uneven roofs, chimneys, towers, and balconies, forming a complex aerial area.
Io continued to flee for his life, but the glow-in-the-dark stone powder on his body quickly caused him to be discovered by the Red Wolf Sergeant who was on guard on the roof. He immediately raised his bow and aimed at him.
"Two people, "I can do it!"
Io didn't back down, as there were more pursuers in the rear, and he gritted his teeth and picked up his speed. Instead, they rushed straight towards the two sergeants.
Whoosh, arrows shot out, breaking through the night air and hurried towards the boy's chest.
Io dodged the two arrows beautifully and thrillingly with a forward flip, and threw two throwing knives with his right hand the moment he landed again! One of them crossed the face of a sergeant more than a dozen meters away, and the other was blocked by the fast-reacting sergeant with his armour.
In a few seconds, before the sergeant who had been killed by the throwing knife had completely fallen to the ground, Guan Ou burst out at maximum speed and galloped in front of the surviving sergeant and raised his left hand.
He clearly saw the cold expression of the sergeant in front of him, and saw the right hand of the other party who reached out to draw his sword, and the left hand that tried to block the grid.
Life and death are only a thin line. Either you die or I die.
Io's left hand slammed down on the sergeant's left hand as the charge momentum, grabbing the sergeant's face halfway through the draw of his sword in his right hand, and the hidden blade of his wrist hidden in the sleeve of his left hand was like a fang
Go out!
With a click, the sharp blade stabbed into the sergeant's mouth, stabbing out the back of his neck, leaving him silent in eternal silence.
Following the momentum, Io grabbed the sergeant's face and smashed it onto the roof, shattering more than a dozen pieces of golden red tiles.
"May the Holy Spirit give you rest. The boy's face was slightly pale, and although he had practiced with a scarecrow countless times, this was the first time he had killed someone in this way.
The dark blade on his wrist was withdrawn, and his palm closed the sergeant's eyes.
He had to keep on his escape, and as long as he left the area, the chances of escaping would be much greater.
However, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly came from behind the side!
Sword Qi!
Io dodged in horror, but was still hit in the flank, and suddenly the whole thing happened. The man flew up and slammed into a cigarette tube next to him, and the pain in his waist was intense to the bone.
"Woohhh He struggled as hard as he could, but his waist seemed to be broken, and he couldn't get up at all.
Shi Jian, who was almost desperate, suddenly a gust of wind swept by, and a figure in a black robe appeared in front of him, with his hands raised. With a white sword in his left hand and a black sword in his right hand, he flew like a ghost to the sergeants on the opposite side.
"Yes, who?"
Io was confused and couldn't remember any of his companions who had used their twin swords as weapons, but he was surprised to see that this man was alone against four enemies, and he simply wiped off his neck, pierced his jaw, stabbed his chest, and slashed his head.
Three seconds, all in one go. When the figure with the twin swords killed the last sergeant, the one whose neck was cut at first was even standing.
"It's amazing," Io sighed, but the sharp pain in his waist froze his consciousness on the figure walking towards him, and finally the sergeant struggling to stand slowly stared down.
"This is the "Evil Swordsman." It's still a teenager, and it looks like he's not even eighteen years old. ”
Chongyang squatted to see the appearance of the young man he saved. Said.
"This is not the time for discussion. We'd better get him out of here quickly. Chloe said, helping the black-robed boy to his feet.
"Wait. Chongyang asked her to put the person down first, then reached out to the boy's left wrist and touched it, taking off something that resembled a wristband.
This "bracer" is dark green all over. The material is like wood and iron, and the mysterious runes are spelled out in white relief, faintly showing a shape like a spade on a playing card.
Chongyang stared at the thing. Reaching inside, he lightly touched a mechanism, and a blade shot out.
This is "Thorn Per 1" also called "Dark Sword." Or "evil sword" is "evil sword." Commonly used weapons. Chloe explained.
